Summary:

This report provides detailed documentation regarding the engineering methodology associated with the System Advisor Model (SAM) biomass power generation model. Broadly, the model can be applied to any power generation technology utilizing a solid fuel that can be defined by its content and heating value. A solid-fueled combustion power plant can be broken into three discrete operations, each with its own mass and energy balances: the feed yard where the fuel is stored, the combustion system, and the turbine. SAM is a system performance and economic model designed to facilitate decision making for project developers, financiers, and policymakers, as well as provide robust analysis capabilities for energy researchers.
